PPD free hair dye?

emlou2009

does anyone know of any permanent PPD free hair dyes, without resorting to henna? i've never had an allergic reaction but i've read a few scare stories about people dying their hair with hair dye with PPD in it and having huge reactions, even after the patch test turned out fine _pale_

i've got a few grey stragglers and i need rid of them (!!!!!! - i'm only 24!!) and i dont want to use a henna dye as i know how hard it is to dye over.

Hi, might be worth checking out the Naturtint range from Holland and Barrett?

You might think so but even ones that sound 'natural' can have PPD in -that's what gets you -just check for paraphenylenediamine in the ingredients list, and even then do a skin patch text 48 hours before use.
I had 1 called Herbatint the other week and it still had PPD in which I reacted to.

I've had 2 major full body allergic reactions from not doing patch tests and several reactions to patch tests.
I was in A&E 3 Xmas ago for such a reaction. My head and face ballooned and whole body itched, scabbed and wept -thought I was going to die -dont risk it!
